Snow & Rose By Emily Winfield Martin Cover Image

Snow & Rose (Paperback)

By Emily Winfield Martin
$9.99

A beautiful retelling of the legend of Snow and Rose, this gentle fairy tales brims with all the requisite traditions: dwarfs, missing person, enchanted forest and strange creatures. As in her highly imaginative picture books, first time middle grade novelist Emily Winfield Martin paints the sisters, Snow and Rose, as not exact opposites, but more like complimentary gears, who thrive on different aspects of the same thing. Recommended as a read-aloud, this beautifully illustrated tale will delight the young and young-at-heart! 

(Fairy Tale, ages 8+) - Reviewed by Maureen
